So Said the Clock By Grant Beatty There is a time There is a place There is a person There is a face Soon I will find The place where all are kind And there I will find The person in my mind A girl, my girl I will sing to her I hear her hum A kitten’s purr And though I hope I pray I lust I fear she must, She must, she must Have a more passionate lover, One who can give more to his significant other And so I sit and stare at time In the back of my mind The grandfather chime A low sullen bong I have heard times before I heard only one then silence once more Twas the sound that frightened me so It told me of the place I must go The land where all are kind is where I shall go To find this young beauty, it’s this I know I must go to her, with only one flower So said the clock With its chime, on this hour
By
Grant Beatty
There is a time
There is a place
There is a person
There is a face
Soon I will find
The place where all are kind
And there I will find
The person in my mind
A girl, my girl
I will sing to her
I hear her hum
A kitten’s purr
And though I hope
I pray I lust
I fear she must,
She must, she must
Have a more passionate lover,
One who can give more to his significant other
And so I sit and stare at time
In the back of my mind
The grandfather chime
A low sullen bong I have heard times before
I heard only one then silence once more
Twas the sound that frightened me so
It told me of the place I must go
The land where all are kind is where I shall go
To find this young beauty, it’s this I know
I must go to her, with only one flower
So said the clock
With its chime, on this hour
